So, lately I've been seeing some posts on gaming and I've been wondering. I've been playing Roblox for an hour and I plan to hit my usual time of 4-5 hours. I do it to pass the time.

I play a lot.

I've finished a game and started playing it again immediately. It was Deus Ex (2000), so you know the Liberty Island mission is awesome. So, justified.

I actually had a dream last night that I was showing someone I could do the entire first mission with zero equipment, zero kills. (I can also do it zero detection, but that takes longer. And, not if I also want to rescue Gunther. That's much harder. He also greatly interferes with a "no kill" rule.) So I run in, remark on how pixelated/low-poly everything is, and then as soon as I get on the island proper (off the dock) and hang a right to go around back, the remaster releases online and the graphics get noticeably better... and the game takes on elements of Cyberpunk 2077, so now I'm dealing with those threats as well, so it's basically the Liberty Island mission reimagined in Cyberpunk.

I've also had a dream once I was stuck in Animal Crossing. It's funny, when you first start the game, you fly into the island, but you can never actually leave it. Sure, you can visit other islands, but after 5AM you're sent back home. Even if you pay the raccoons back and do all the home upgrades. (What you can do, within canon, is move to another island. But, you can never leave the islands and go back to civilisation. There are even some obscure hints within the game that you're the last human, or one of the last humans. That's a whole rabbit hole. And yes, I mean the kids game with fishing, farming, and animals for neighbors. It's supposedly post-apocalyptic, but you never get to see it. Could even take place in the same universe as Fallout, for all we know.
